Hi

Today I realized that my home remote app is kind of messed up.
The app crash on open and I can't find it in AppStore (Sweden).
What's up with that?

Best regards/L

Hey,

I was having issues with Home Remote immediately crashing instead of opening, force quitting the app didn't fix it, so I deleted the app, then reinstalled from the App Store (I am seeing it in the CA and US App Stores). The devices, actions, and two geo-fences re-appeared after re-installing. The app no longer crashes, however, when I open Notification Centre's Today view, in the Home Remote section I see "Unable To Load". Interestingly, when I tap the area for Home Remote, the buttons show for a brief moment, then disappear, replaced with the "Unable To Load" label.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Rycardo

NB I validated my JSON data, it passes.

Hey guys, sorry for not chiming in sooner, it's been a mental day.

Rycardo, restarted device? Tried adding a new action to force update?

TL;DR

The app now works fine

Details:

Our sunset/sunrise time provider started giving out bad data in a format we've not seen before and was crashing the app. For those that have never allowed their location to be used, then the app would have remained fine, but if you location was shared the app and Today Screen widget was unusable. Whilst the app was not working, I removed it from sale.

The provider have now fixed their feed, the app works, and it is back on sale.

An update will most likely be released tomorrow to avoid this happening again.

Once again, sorry for any inconvenience.

Gary
